This article aims to examine modern approaches to food auditing in agriculture, identify specific risks, and develop recommendations for their mitigation. It emphasizes the importance of auditing for ensuring safety, quality, and sustainable development in agriculture, laying the foundation for further research in this area and serving as a practical guide for implementing audit systems in the agricultural sector, which ultimately contributes to improving the quality of life and sustainable rural development. This article provides an overview of possible methods and areas of food auditing in agriculture, recommending their application to companies taking into account the specifics of their activities, organizational, and production structure. Recommendations are offered for expanding the toolkit of food auditing in agricultural enterprises based on existing audit methods, thereby enabling the creation of more effective control systems. The article's uniqueness lies in the development of an adapted food audit methodology that takes into account the specifics of agricultural production. New risk assessment indicators are presented, as well as quality control mechanisms that can be implemented to improve the transparency of agricultural processes.
